00:00Cleveland traveling to Detroit this week. And it appears, George, that the Lions, well,

00:06they're just they're not dead without Ben Johnson calling plays. After all, they just dismantled

00:11the Ravens defense. And now they head home on a short week to take on these upstart Browns who

00:18have maybe the best defense in the NFL. They just destroyed, by the way, the team that kicked the

00:27Lions from goal to goal to start the season in the Green Bay Packers. They just beat that team.

00:33And this line opened up Lions nine and a half. And all we've seen is Browns money so far,

00:39dropping it down to minus nine. And the total is the interesting part here, George, because it

00:45opened up 46 and a half. And it's been bet down to 44. So we've got a very low total. And we've got a

00:53team laying almost double digits. That's not a great combination. Something has got to give there.

01:00And to me, I'm going to see if the public comes in and starts pushing this thing to back to nine and a

01:05half, maybe even 10 before the kickoff. Because after all, recency bias, it is Detroit's. I'll be

01:12looking to back the Browns if I can get this to minus 10. I think that's the buy point here with

01:18the Browns on the road with that defense. I think getting 10 is probably a good value.

01:25I don't think there's any doubt there'll be a little letdown from the Detroit Lions.

01:29You played Monday night in Baltimore. Huge game, right? And you throttled them. I know it was 38-30

01:34was the final, but you really throttled the Ravens there. So there'll be a letdown in this game,

01:38right? My problem is going to be this. Let's just say he gets to nine and a half, 10, like you said.

01:43And I think it will get up there, especially if you go later and later in the week here.

01:46How many points do we think the Browns can score? That defense, as you said, might be number one in

01:51the NFL. I completely agree. Miles Garrett, give him Defensive Player of the Year. He is that good.

01:56But that offense sucks. It is bad, bad. All right? I mean, we're talking about Jackson Dart. When is

02:03Dylan Gabriel taking over? We're going to see Shador Sanders. We're going to see both this year. I have

02:07no doubt about that. That's going to happen there. They can't score. On a great day, the Browns scored,

02:14what, 13 points here? You know? So it means you only need the Detroit to score 23-24. They cover

02:21the spread here. That's it. The Browns can get the 13, which I don't know if they can. They beat

02:24Green Bay last week because Jordan Love threw an interception on the second to last drive. Like,

02:28what are you doing? What are you doing? What did you see there? You and I don't throw that

02:32interception. It was an easy read there, but he made a bad play. So that's my problem here.

02:38The Browns had a below average offense. I'm right there with you. Right? But his offense

02:43is bad, bad. It's Judkinson prayers. All right? That's all it is. Flack of the statue

02:47back there. He's going to get sacked a thousand times here. I think the Detroit Lions, they

02:51won't blow. It's not going to be 34-3. It's not going to be that. There'll be a letdown

02:54there. The defense is that good. But I can see this being 20-7, and therefore Detroit covers

03:01even though they didn't really do all that much.
